KU English Pro. Clears 80 Percent
The "towels of woe" for the "English Pro" have been surrendered for the last time by 80 percent of those taking the English Proficiency Examination earlier this semester.
Of the 715 students taking the examination, 575 passed and 140 failed, according to the examination committee headed by James Seaver, professor of history and the director of the western civilization department.
THE PERCENTAGE OF those passing and failing the examination this semester is the same as that of the fall. At that time 1133 took the examination and 906 passed it, 227 failed.
These figures, however, register progress since last spring when of the 829 who took the examination, 615 or 74 percent passed and 214 or 26 percent failed.
The results of this semester's examination were relatively later than usual, Seaver said. They are usually given about five weeks after the examination, but this year spring vacation fell within the grading period.
THE COMMITTEE grading the examinations is composed of faculty members from the various schools participating in the examination, Seaver said.
Contrary to what many people believe the English Proficiency examination may be as challenging as the University but not as old. It was started in about 1945 by the late Paul Lawson, former Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Seaver said.
But it was not only from influence inside the University but outside as well, he continued. Alumni serving as employers and teachers recognized that the English standards of KU graduates was not the kind they felt their school should have.
THEIR NOTICES of concern coupled with KU's desire to check the English proficiency of its graduates and thus led to this "breaker of men."
Heading the program at present are two English instructors, John Wilson and D. W. Akins.
The latest addition to the English Proficiency program has been a writer's clinic located in Lindley annex. It started some eight years ago as an aid for those students failing the examination.
"OUR JOB REALLY doesn't start until the examination is finished," Akins said. "Students who fail the examination come in to learn why they failed. Then we set up a program to remedy their mistakes in the next examination."
Lindley annex is open at 2:30-3:30
Tuesdays and Thursdays and 3:30-
4:30 on Wednesday and Fridays for
interested students.
Wilson said the clinic keeps on file all the examinations for this purpose and that students are not compelled to come in but may receive help if they do.
Students hoping to improve their performances set up a schedule with the two advisors of the clinic. They purchase a required textbook on writing and with the help of the advisors "bone up" on their writing tools.
"I OFTEN GIVE my students themes to write," Akins said. "I Choose subjects similar to those given on the actual examinations. This is to help them learn what is expected in them."
There are many mistakes responsible for the failures of the examinations, Wilson said. One popular one is the inability to focus attention of the specific question asked. They fail to write logically, to organize their ideas on a clear and orderly level, he said.
ASKED IF ANYONE required to take the examination has ever graduated without it, Seaver said "No." As long as he could remember no one has gotten by. This includes the purple hearted veterans of four and five rounds.
There are several mistakes in grammar, especially spelling, he said. But these are minor.

Research Studies Aided by Grants
KU and the Center for Research in Engineering Science received $894,555 in grants and contracts for research and associated graduate training projects in January, February, and March, William J. Arger-singer Jr., associate dean of faculties for research, announced today.
The fiscal year's total of $3,558,063 for nine months almost equals last year's twelve-month total of nearly $4 million received at Lawrence. An almost identical amount was received for research at the Medical Center in Kansas City. At the end of three quarters last year, KU had received almost $2.5 million.
